haha, and the campus internet is the one you'd want to use as it would be the fastest to get the programs...... sometimes you just can't win...

grab photoshop CS5 and lightroom 3. and maybe DxO optix pro version 6

beyond that, you won't need anything. and lightroom and DxO are sort of the same thing, so it comes down to which one you'd be more comfortable using day to day. I like how DxO handles all the different lenses and camera bodies, which is why i use it over lightroom, but i want to give lightroom a little more time and see if i can learn it still.

Even direct from Adobe, Photoshop CS5 is only $199 if you can prove you are a student. It is the full deal Extended Edition, the only difference is you have to send them a copy of your student ID. That's $800 in savings, for the cost of a scan and email (i.e. free). It's well worth paying for it if you can. Don't have to worry about "the man."
Plus, when CS6 comes out, you only have to pay the upgrade price.Adobe Educational Pricing
